Summary:
Composed of lectures given by Buckminster Fuller throughout the world in the 1960s, “Utopia or Oblivion” presents the thesis that humanity, for the first time in its history, has the opportunity to create a world where the needs of 100% of humanity are met.

Fuller's grandson, in the introduction, refers to this selection as "hardcore Bucky," as these essays display Fuller's investigations into mathematics, geometry and how they intersect with the arts, music and world peace. In Fuller's words, "This is what man tends to call utopia. It's a fairly small word, but inadequate to describe the extraordinary new freedom

Summary:
Dans une perspective monographique, l’auteur contribue à mettre en lumière la singularité de la démarche de Peter Eisenman en suivant l’émergence polyvoque du thème de l’interstitiel dans son parcours. L’ouvrage est organisé en quatre chapitres qui suivent le cheminement discursif, critique et projectuel de l’architecte américain, de l’univers abstrait des débuts de son cheminement théorique dans les années 1960 aux récits de ses premières investigations urbaines, à la fin des années 1970 et au courant de la décennie suivante. Les textes publiés d’Eisenman forment la trame de base du corpus analysé, qui vise à souligner la spécificité de sa contribution à un renouvellement de la discussion architecturale du thème de l’interstitiel, et par extension, sa contribution à de nouveaux regards sur la condition urbaine contemporaine.

Summary:

All 44 houses collected here fall into one or more of the following categories of low-resolution: first, houses that vaguely resemble houses, using familiar low-res house elements like pitched roofs, chimneys, windows, doors, porches, etc.; second, houses that appear to be constructed in a low-res manner, in that one can see the construction, joints, and materials, and have a sort of cheap unfinished quality; and third, houses that are composed of low-res organization with basic geometric primitives squares, circles, and triangles arranged in a non-compositional or abstract manner. By these using these terms, low-resolution is in contrast to high-resolution architectural sophistication, gestural complex curvature, bodily organic figuration, and architectural paradigms focused on seamlessness and integrated smoothness. "44 Low-resolution Houses" was exhibited at Princeton University School of Architecture from 09/11/2018 to 11/09/2018. The exhibition catalog was edited by Michael Meredith, with a foreword by Dean Mónica Ponce de León. It was designed by MOS and Studio Lin, with photographs by Michael Vahrenwald/Esto.

Summary:
A pioneer of "Water Urbanism" and the "Sponge City" model, Kongjian Yu is not only one of the most important living landscape architects, but also a keen observer of the present. His project proposals and his reflections on urban planning in China are a practical-conceptual reference with which to attempt to unravel the emerging questions of a planet threatened by environmental catastrophes, hydrogeological risks and a water crisis. Taking the foundational geometries of rural landscapes as a model, Kongjian Yu proposes very low technology water infrastructure works which, by activating an adaptive behavior, recompose intermediate landscapes between city and nature, concrete representations of the partnership between man and the element that, more than any other, generates and protects life and water.

Soon after, the architects began working on The Sea Ranch, a large development on the northern California coast that runs from the ocean’s edge, with its protected beaches and cliffs, to a coastal meadow stretching the entire length of the acreage. The firm was charged with developing a master plan for The Sea Ranch that would be aesthetically refined and have minimal impact on the surrounding natural landscape. Local materials such as redwood timber were used in the construction of the residential units and recreational buildings, which together express the era’s particularly Californian modernism.

Comment concevoir un musée et son contenu ? Comment façonner cet outil de médiation de l’art et des savoirs ? Des années 1920 aux années 1960, Le Corbusier s’interroge, échangeant avec des conservateurs, des responsables politiques et des artistes. Outre la création d’une forme à « croissance illimitée », il défend un « musée de la connaissance » et l’utopie d’une version « électronique » pour l’Inde, inspirée par la cybernétique. En s’appuyant sur ses écrits et ses archives, ce livre examine les positions de Le Corbusier et en analyse les ressorts, entre pragmatisme et opportunisme, fascination technologique, paternalisme néocolonial et convictions humanistes. Hybride, mobile et démultipliable, son modèle idéal tient à la fois du livre et du spectacle, et ses intuitions visionnaires entrent étonnamment en résonance avec les réflexions d’aujourd’hui sur le musée.

They come in all shapes and sizes, and somehow the phenomenon is especially prevalent in Switzerland: homemade cat ladders. Taking the city of Berne as an example, photographer Brigitte Schuster shows the variety of ways humans facilitate the comings and goings of their feline friends in the context of the surrounding architecture. From a simple wooden plank to complex, scaffold-like constructions rising up to four storeys in a zigzag fashion, they express sociological, architectural, and aesthetic peculiarities, which are further developed in accompanying texts. As such, the book serves as both a guideline and source of inspiration in creating your own cat ladders.
